Sarita Tanwar's Film Reviews

Carry your ipod, put on your ear phones, enjoy the music and simply let your eyes feast on the Greek God on screen.

Habib Faisal has written and directed some memorable films but this one seems confused. Is it about food, romance, social message or a con film is open to interpretation. Strangely it was marketed as a food film (the title suggests it too) but the film isn’t about that. The film drags on in the second half.

When you are making a con film, it has to be clever. You have to keep the audiences guessing. Unfortunately here, you guess what the next scene will be. You can predict it. The cons need to come at the viewer fast and furiously but that doesn’t happen here….Watch the old Natwarlal, starring Amitabh Bachchan.

It starts slow but you soon find yourself getting involved, as the hunt for the missing girl begins. It is not an easy film to watch. It is brutal and it takes you into a world, you would rather pretend does not exist. Mardaani holds more than a few surprises.
-
Sadly the film doesn’t do justice to both the newcomers. Nothing unique about the screenplay. Ordinary direction. It’s a long time since this kind of lover story has been seen on the screen. Just when you thought that the formula had been forgotten Heropanti tries to revives it. Tiger shows huge potential in action and dance but director fails to exploit it fully.
Watch it for the newcomers.

There are some poignant moments in the friendship between the two heroes – and that’s the crux of the film. This is what you call in movie terminology a guy’s film – loads of action, attitude and masala. Abbas is superb when it comes to projecting heroism of his lead protagonists.

Don’t subscribe to Nat Geo? Then this might be exciting for you.

Dil Bole Hadippa is a perfect example of how Bollywood can quite shamelessly adapt (read copy) anything from the West and do a decent job. This one’s a straight lift of the America teenage comedy She’s The Man (2006). The only difference in that while in the English film, the lead actress is standing in for her brother in a soccer team, Veera Kaur (Rani Mukerji) plays cricket. But DBH is not aimed at the teens. Who its aimed at, is really a bit of a mystery.
